Cookies Policy
Last Updated: 21 September 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how coveragix uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. The site provides professional resources focused on media coverage workflows including story planning, camera setup, field coordination, lighting and smooth production for news and live shows. It is operated from the United Kingdom and complies with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store or access information such as your preferences, browsing activity and device details. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that perform comparable functions. These tools help websites remember users, measure performance and deliver relevant content without requiring repeated manual input.
Why the Site Uses Cookies
coveragix uses cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, improve user experience, analyse traffic patterns and support legitimate business operations. Without these technologies some features would not work and the site could not provide its professional media workflow resources effectively.
Categories of Cookies Used
The site categorises cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting and social media types. Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as page navigation and security. Functional cookies remember choices like language settings. Analytics cookies track usage to improve content quality. Advertising cookies may personalise promotions if applicable. Social media cookies facilitate sharing where integrated.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by coveragix and relate to our own domain. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types may be present but third-party cookies are limited to essential partners that support site operation.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until manually removed. Retention periods vary by category and are detailed in the table below to give clear information about expiry.
Data Handled and Purposes of Each Category
Strictly necessary cookies handle basic identifiers for security and session management. Functional cookies store preference data to maintain settings across visits. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage statistics such as page views and navigation paths. Advertising cookies if used capture interest signals for relevant messaging. All data processing serves the purpose of delivering reliable professional resources on media production workflows.
Consent or Exemption Basis Under UK Law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption of PECR and do not require consent. Other categories rely on consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent is freely given, specific, informed and easy to withdraw at any time in line with UK GDPR requirements.

The following table lists the cookies and providers in use.

How the Consent Manager Works
The site-wide cookie banner allows visitors to accept or reject non-essential categories at first visit. Users can return to the banner settings at any time to change or withdraw consent. Choices are stored and respected across future visits until altered.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences
Most browsers permit users to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling cookies may prevent the site from remembering preferences, completing forms or maintaining secure sessions, which could limit access to certain professional resources.
International Transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used where required. Details appear in our Privacy Policy.
